Season 5 is the fifth and final season of Aggretsuko, released on February 16, 2023.
The fifth season was initially announced with an image following the credits of the final episode of Season 4: "Rendezvous". The image states that "Retsuko will return" with the number 5 faintly present behind the text.
On September 25, 2022, a February 2023 release month was announced for the season during the 2022 Netflix TUDUM Japan fan event[1][2]
As part of its reveal, a synopsis was released by Netflix Japan highlighting Retsuko will be running for office in Japan's parliament whilst Haida is evicted from his apartment - which is owned by his parents - and is living in an Internet café where he meets Shikabane; a multi-talented artist gaining attention.[3][4]
